1. T.N. extends support for Kerala’s suit seeking to retain fiscal autonomy
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin wrote to his Kerala counterpart Pinarayi Vijayan, appreciating Kerala for moving the Supreme Court against the Union government’s attempts to “stifle State governments” over finances.
Mr. Stalin also criticised the “discriminatory and unconstitutional attempts” pushed by the Union government and contended that the Centre’s intent seemed to be aimed at “crippling” States’ abilities to raise resources and fund crucial developmental initiatives.
